Got a coat of prime paint on the turret. I used Tamyia grey,this stuff is very nice, it gravitates to the plastic. Looks good at this point. This is the best part, covering all the parts to to one color. The support arms are a little wonky but they will all come together when the slat goes on also much of the crew gear will cover in the arms.
The coax gun barrel was replaced with metal tube.
You can see here the arms I made from plastic.
to mix up the rest of the build I'm going to paint the turret and crew gear. I think I'm going with strait from the bottle Tamiya NATO colors,Does anyone have any suggestions about that?
